I am shocked and stunned that no one has yet mentioned (not that I seen) FRONTIER.  Best game ever.  Played it for hrs on end day after day when I first got it and still play it every now and then but every time its started its on for a least 5 hrs.  

Others include

Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2
Lost Vikings
Beneath A Steel Sky
Bubble Bobble
Wings

[flaviosr]

Mumble, mumble...

a "small" list:

MARBLE MADNESS
Defender of the crown
Sinbad and the throne of the falcon
SDI
Wizball
Moebius
The fairy tale adventure
The bard's tale series
Starglider I
Shadow of the beast I
The pawn
Out Run

and a lot of others (ARGH!!!) I cannot remember the name (gimme some time!!! :-P)... the question is too hard for a summary!!! :madashell:

[Im>bE]

I do not play Frontier anymore because of the bugs,
(cant get bulletin and such),
and because of the repeated pirate laser duels
within each solar system.
(the first 2 is fun, but 5 more... not so much)

Hmm, couple more PD games no-one mentioned:
Deluxe Galaga 2.6, and anyone hear of a game called
Cybernetix? It's like one part Defender, one part
Asteroids... really interesting, I play it to this day
(Thanks WHDLoad!)


James Pond series any one?

Another vote for:
Worms
Syndicate + American Revolt Data disk
Micromachines

After owning my (first) A500 for a few years and collecting a lot of boxed originals early on, I noticed many games that I would play for a week or two, while they were new, then never spend more than 5-10 minute stints on them again.

But, there were a -small- number of Amiga titles I'd play even when I didnt really feel like gaming on my A500;

-Rodland
-Buggy Boy
-Bubble Bobble
?

Quick, simple pick-up-and-play arcade style games.

[fx]

Turrican II
Rodland
SWOS
Battle Squadron
Pang
Indy Heat
Super Stardust
Speedball II
Megaball IV
Gravity Force II
Monkey Island
Slam Tilt

My list:

01. UFO
02. Universe
03. Frontier
04. Dune I/II

Hi All-
Short games that give a little work break endure in my house.  The PD port of Freecell solitare is almost an addiction- and has the advantage of taking back several moves more than the PC version.  Crashes every so often, but not so bad that I'm not addicted.

Deluxe Galaga & MegaBall had a good run too, but Freecell has a grip on my brainstem or something.

I remember when friends used to visit me years ago, the game we always played was suprisingly a shareware game, it had great fast gameplay for 2 players but sometimes had problems with the way it made random maps, the game was Extreme Violence.

Bard's Tale
It Came from the Desert
Lemmings
Monkey Island
Total Chaos
Populous

The game's author seems to have released it as freeware (assuming the shareware had some limitation or nag screen, I don't know).  Might give it a try.

Hmmn, my list would be:

* Speedball 2
* Stunt Car Racer
* Sensible Soccer
* FA-18 Interceptor
* Populous
* Frontier
